We believe that wellness starts at home, and healthier indoor environments can support improved overall well-being for their residents.
Our homes are designed with quality construction techniques and features that are guided by the EPA’s ENERGY STAR and Indoor airPLUS standards to offer a broad set of health-related benefits compared to other new or existing homes.
Enhanced indoor air quality
Every KB home incorporates high-performance ventilation that regularly introduces fresh outdoor air and helps to reduce indoor air pollutants. MERV 13 rated filters capture 90% of airborne particles as small as 1.0 micron and are designed to remove dust, pollen, mold and certain bacteria and viruses for enhanced indoor air quality.
Elevated level of comfort
All KB homes include a high-efficiency heating and cooling system designed to provide comfort through every season. We also feature smart thermostats, which can learn homeowner patterns, and as a result, help reduce electric bills each year without impacting comfort.
Enhanced pollutant and moisture control
Every KB home is built with comprehensive air sealing to help reduce drafts, moisture, dust and pollen.
Reduced spread of germs
In 2023, we expanded our use of door hardware with antimicrobial protection to now include all door hardware, not just interior doors, as standard. This hardware inhibits the growth of microbes, such as bacteria, mold and mildew, on product surfaces. Additional upgrades like touchless faucets, voice-activated light switches and smart appliances help to further reduce the spread of germs.
